Synopses & Reviews
This up-to-date edition of the classic text presents a broad overview of highway engineering and is the first to incorporate major changes in design standards from a policy on geometric design of highways and streets, published by AASHTO in 1984. Also includes changes in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. New chapters on computer applications in highway engineering and highway mass transit foundations have been added, as well as sections on engineering fabrics, reinforced earth embankments, and pavement recycling and rehabilitation. Includes an illustration of a typical highway design plan.
